A Learning Education System. The schematic demonstrates how investment in teacher training and the collection of pupil data could combine to create cycles of continual improvement at both school and system levels. Starting at school level, collecting pupil data generates knowledge that can be used by teachers to improve their understanding of pupils' needs, enabling practice to improve through tailoring Personal, Social, Health and Economic education teaching and the wider school approach to those needs. Additionally, evaluating outcomes can inform school improvement planning. At a system level, aggregating and analysing pupil data from multiple schools generate knowledge of the most effective approaches to school health promotion, which can improve practice by informing training for all teachers and Personal, Social, Health and Economic education qualifications for specialists. The feedback loops at both school level and system level can support continual improvement in school health promotion and Personal, Social, Health and Economic education teaching, with the ultimate outcome being improved health and wellbeing for children. PSHE: Personal, Social, Health and Economic; SEL: social and emotional learning.
